John 8:12

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”



O child of God, are you following the Lord today or are you following the ways of the world? Are you following the light or are you following the darkness? Jesus instructed His people to follow Him and only Him. Yet we see so many who claim the name of Jesus following after the ways of this old sinful world.
In our sinful state we would rather follow the darkness of this world. But, Jesus saved us from that sinful state and has brought us into the light. Yet, as rebellious children we are drawn back into our life. And O what a struggle it is to flee the temptations of this life. O how satan uses those temptations to draw us from the light.
Our best defense in these times is to stay in God's Word and to be continually in prayer with our Heavenly Father.
O unsaved soul, are you tired of walking in the darkness? Has the Holy Spirit of God been convicting you about your sinful ways? Are you starting to desire to come into the light? When Jesus calls, answer. When the Great Shepherd finds you in the snares of this old world, do not resist. Do not try to hide. Step into His light. Believe on His name. Repent of your sin. Fall at His feet and worship Him.



Praise ye the Lord!!!
